Indianapolis Colts @ New Orleans Saints (NO-9, 47.5) 8:15 PM I’m going back to the weirdest betting trend we’ve seen in some time. 81% of underdogs of 9-10 points have covered since 2003. That bodes well for the Colts. The Saints have only won 3 games by more than 9 points this season and 7Continue reading “NFL 12/16”

Washington Wizards @ Detroit Pistons (DET -5.5, 229.5) 7:10 PM The Wizards have lost 7 of their last 8 games. They have allowed 125.5 ppg over that span. Their average margin per loss is 14.7 points per game. Meanwhile, the Pistons have won 5 of their last 7 with a margin of victory of 16.8Continue reading “NBA 12/16”

New England Patriots @ Cincinnati Bengals (NE -10, 42) 1 PM The Patriots are 2-3 SU and 1-4 ATS against teams with winning records. However, they are 8-0 SU and 6-2 ATS against teams with losing records. The have an average winning margin of 18.7 and allow only 8.4 points per game in those games.Continue reading “NFL 12/15”

Army vs Navy (Navy -11, 40.5) 3 PM Arguably the best rivalry in all of sports, the Midshipman and Black Knights take the field today in Philadelphia for all the glory. Since 2006, when service academy teams play each other, the under is 34-9-1. The under in this rivalry has hit in 13 straight. SoContinue reading “College Football 12/14”

Syracuse @ Georgetown (GT -3, 145.5) 1 PM The Orange are coming off a 34 point blowout win against Georgia Tech. But before that, they had lost 3 in a row to much  better competition. Meanwhile, Georgetown already has big wins against Texas, at Oklahoma State and at SMU. Georgetown averages 39.4 rebounds per game,Continue reading “College Basketball 12/14”

Michigan @ Illinois (ILL -1.5, 145.5) 9 PM The Illini are coming off a blown lead to Maryland last time out. This would have been their best win on the season. Otherwise, their best win is against Grand Canyon. Although huge, not a great basketball team. The Wolverines are more battle tested and can handleContinue reading “College Basketball 12/11”

Boston Celtics @ Indiana Pacers (BOS -1, 209.5) 7:10 PM I don’t like this game, because it is a game the Pacers could win or could lose. Just depends on what team will show up. I think the Celtics will struggle with Sabonis tonight, so consider taking over 17.5 points, or maybe IND +1. SinceContinue reading “NBA 12/11”

Texas Tech @ Louisville (LOU -6, 125.5) 7 PM This Texas Tech team is not the same team that made it to the final four last season. They started off that way, winning each of their first 5 games against weak opponents by at least 15 points. But since their hot start, they have loseContinue reading “College Basketball 12/10”

Denver Nuggets @ Philadelphia 76ers (PHI -4, 208.5) 8 PM The Nuggets have lost 4 of their last 5 games, and have only averaged 103.8 ppg over that span including 3 games under 100 points. The 76ers have allowed 95 points or less in 5 of their last 9 games in which they have averagedContinue reading “NBA 12/10”

NY Giants @ Philadelphia Eagles (PHI -9, 46) 8:15 PM   I don’t want to bet on a team that has lost 5 of their last 7 and just lost to the Dolphins. On the other side, I don’t want to bet on a team that has lost 8 straight and are starting one ofContinue reading “NFL 12/9”
